So, the Inktober 2018 and Slowvember drawings have finally been processed, packaged, and sent out to print, I thought I’d reviewed a few of my smaller zines that I’ve printed in the past year.
The DIMs: Alice & Co. was one of my favourite zine project from 2015. I love the subject matter (favourite book, characters, and particular passage!) and absolutely enjoyed designing them. In fact, I have so many more designs for each of these characters that I included in the zine that I may consider rendering them properly and organise them into another bigger zine project in the future. My only regret for this zine was the page limit that I limited myself to during that time.
This DIMs collection came out of my curiosity of “how many different kind of masks can I come up with within a month?” Although the drawings were not done within 30 -day, the concept for each of the masks in this zine was drafted out within that set period. It was a pretty fun project for me, while exposing myself for my limited imagination regarding the subject. May visit this idea again sometime, but maybe in conjunction with something else. Personally, I quite like this zine (short and sweet =P), but the concept wasn’t very well received among my friends; it appears that the masks creeped them out somewhat. Am I the only one who found these stuff cool as hell!?
One of the Daily Ink Mini series (DIMs) zine from 2017. This is pretty much a collection of all the small animal drawings (in ink) that I had in my sketch book at that point. Most of the image reference came from instagram and pinterest. As these are by no means the only animal drawing I have in my books, there’s definitely gonna be another animal-theme zine in the future.
